Factual errors: The Earth as represented in the on-orbit shots is too small if the spacecraft is supposed to be in Low Earth Orbit (approx 200 miles) as would be expected for an orbital laboratory (and Voskhod) mission. The apparent altitude is more like 1000 miles.See more »

Jim Pruett:Okay Buzz you're right. To hell with waiting for a bunch of slide-rule jockeys. We used to fix the airplanes we flew with paperclips. Lets get into our hard suits and fix this bird. Buzz Lloyd:[smiling] Okay Jimmy.See more »

For those who still believe in movies without CGI or too fancy special
effects, Marroned is your kind of movie. Based in great performances by
Gregory Peck, Richard Creena, Gene Hackman, David Jansen and all the
great crew, this Apollo-era film is a good movie for entertaining and a
short view of the Space Program in the early 70's. When I was reading
some of the history of the production, the idea of Philco-Ford to
"lend" a replica of the Mission Control Room for the movie (they
actually were the creators of the original room in Cape Kennedy,
according to the publication) was an exceptional element of accuracy
and realism. The space scenes are part of the movie, not the movie
itself and, well, was 1970, the chroma effects were still very simple.
Still, the acting quality is the best value of Marroned. Please take a
look and make your own opinion. I love it!
